Imagine a wedding: a buffet in a beautiful hall, guests in tuxedos and cocktail dresses, waiters with champagne scurrying between people, pleasant live music playing quietly in the background, and the bride and groom talking on the sidelines, without interacting in any way with the guests. Do you think all guests will like such an event? Of course no. What guests will say “thank you” for is the attention of the newlyweds, interesting competitions and a rich program. And if all the invitees get to know each other and start communicating with each other, no one will be bored at your celebration, and this is the most important thing!
The Svadebka.ws portal team will tell you about wedding interactives as a way of entertainment and a great time. We will tell you what interactivity with guests is, why you can’t do without it at a wedding, and which of them will be relevant today and which will not.

At weddings, it sometimes happens that some guests do not know each other. To correct this situation, the toastmaster can hold such a competition at the very beginning. The driver comes out first - a friend - he calls his name and passion for life, and then he goes around the hall, attaches the next carriage to himself, that is, any of the guests, who in turn says his name, relationship with the bride or groom and passion for life, for example, I am Uncle Kolya, the uncle of a beautiful bride, an avid fisherman, and so on until the whole train is assembled. This way all guests will be able to meet and get to know each other better.
TOP 7 interactive events and competitions held by every second wedding presenter in Moscow!
ATTENTION, COLLEAGUES!!!
On Instagram you can find many useful ideas and new interactives from me on the page chestniy_mk
To be honest, I once did the same thing, but somehow in time I spent it all on retirement or interpreted it and now I can share it in my article! Perhaps some presenter from Syzran will read it and enter the TOP presenters of his city. Time passes, people's interests change, the people themselves change, but the competitions for the hosts at a wedding in Moscow remain the same. Because “they always come in” and it doesn’t matter that every third guest saw them, because “the main thing is how you present it.” And let’s talk about the fact that every second promo of the presenter in Moscow is similar to the previous one, because in it they again twirl napkins over their heads and ask the guests “Where did the newlyweds meet?” and there is no need to write. For me, the big question remains whether it’s boring and embarrassing that half the country is doing this... SO, presenter Syzran, from here press Ctr + C, Ctr + V, your weddings will no longer be the same... 7th place “SELFIE COMPETITION” WITH With the advent of gadgets, the program of presenters at weddings in Moscow has become more diverse, with at least one competition - “selfie marathon”, “selfie cross” or just a selfie competition. Every presenter (except for those who still have NOKIA-3310) has at least once held a competition in which you have to quickly take a selfie with the bride and groom, a selfie with Uncle Pasha, the presenter and a guest in a checkered shirt. If in the video you see people running around the hall with smartphones, do not think that they want to occupy free sockets to charge their smartphones, they are just taking selfies. This competition can be more interesting if the tasks are formed in such a way that all guests will participate in it. For example, give the task to take a selfie so that all the men in the audience or all the relatives of the bride, or everyone under 30 years old are in it, and they should be sad in the selfie.
6th place “CINEMA DANCES”
Well, for as long as possible...Everyone has long ago, long ago, memorized the movements from the film “Bitter”, with their eyes closed they perform the dance “Masks” and know that for the finale you have prepared Vandam or Kolyan for them... These dances are repeated directly from the screen, memorized, then repeat or dance “who is more accurate.” Well, let's change the dances! At least for those not from films, but from You Tube, there are a huge number of them! And children's dances are just a bomb! It’s cute to watch them, and when a healthy guy starts repeating them, pretending to be a child, I think no one will remain indifferent. In short, into the furnace of “Kolyan” and all those like him.
5th place “CLASSIC DANCE BATTLE”
Wall to wall, who is cooler and more fiery, who is more energetic and fun, boys against girls, youth against the older generation, the groom's relatives against the bride's relatives - YOU SAW! WE KNOW! Yes, a dance battle has always been the highlight of the holiday, the highlight of the evening, but let's change the approach! Let the guests not be fiery, let them be boring! Let the most killer track sound to them, but they must dance as boringly and slowly as possible! Let the teams perform the stupidest dance - one that would be embarrassing to repeat, dance as they danced in the 80s, 90s and now. And it is not necessary to divide into two teams, let all the guests compete with the bride and groom, or all against one - the most fun, all against the groom's grandmother - just imagine how cute it will be when everyone gives in and tries to dance worse than the grandmother, because she a priori won!!!
4th place “DISTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES”
Do you really think that this competition can be brightened up by beautiful signs with the inscription “HE” and “SHE”, or your comic imaginary duties, such as “Pet the cat”, “Put smartphones on charge at night”... This interactive is as old as the word “toastmaster” " The only way to diversify it is to distribute responsibilities between the guests, let them “Call the groom on Sundays at nine in the evening with a reminder that football is starting”, “Email offers with last-minute travel packages”, “Take in the newlyweds’ animals for foster care, when they go on vacation."
3rd place “GUESS THE MELODY”
The first episode of this TV show was released in 1995. That is, this competition is over 15 years old, and we are still trying to hold it. STOP!!!
So many alternatives have appeared: the well-known “APOZH”, when the song sounds backwards, accelerated or slowed down songs, Russian songs performed in Chinese, Korean or Tatar, old songs with a new tune and many many other interactives that do not smell of mothballs and Valdis Pelsh .
2nd place "FLASHMOB"
I have nothing against him, but simply repeating the movements of the leader is boring! It’s one thing when you are preparing a surprise for the newlyweds, and for them it’s a WOW effect, and another when you just dance on camera with the whole crowd of guests so that there is a cool promo. NOT INTERESTED! Let the newlyweds prepare their own flash mob and all the guests will have to repeat after them. Let the bridesmaids or groomsmen prepare it and everyone else join them. During a break, film the bride and groom or guests dancing on your phone, edit the dance and ask everyone to repeat it together. And in general, the word “flash mob” literally translates as “instant crowd,” so it should be sudden and unexpected, breaking stereotypes and changing the tempo of the holiday!
1st place “QUIZ ABOUT NEWLYWEDS”
Here you can make a “subTOP” of questions for guests about the bride and groom, which you can see in the videos of Moscow wedding hosts. “Where did they meet?”, “What does the groom cook best?” , “What does a bride hate to do most?” I have my own question: “Aren’t you really tired???” Yes, now this quiz can be filled with funny answer options and packaged into the game “Oh, lucky guy” or “100 to one”. But you can talk about the newlyweds in another form.
Let's do this: Write to me in contact with your version of this quiz and receive in response two of my author's interpretations that you will definitely like!
My experience in hosting events (when the same guests come to your wedding three times over the summer) allowed me to diversify my program with different interpretations of the same moments. Therefore, even if these guests come to me for the fourth time, they will again have fun and interesting, because they will not see a single repeat moment. And most importantly, it will be interesting to me, because only by changing and developing during the holidays can you experience pleasure in what you do.
I AM WAITING FOR COMMENTS, especially from presenters from Syzran!

Large and small
When all the guests have danced and eaten, when you just want to relax a little, the host can hold a fairly simple but interesting competition in which the guests do not need to jump, run, and so on. The presenter announces that in this competition there will be 2 winners from the audience: the one who has the largest bill and the smallest one. And as prizes you can choose, for example, a bottle of mineral water for the owner of a large bill, so that he cools down a little and slows down the pace of work, because you won’t earn all the money, and a toy shovel for the owner of a small bill, so that he, on the contrary, increases the pace of work and can shovel money.
Newlyweds competition or kiss your hand
The bride goes to the center of the hall, the host blindfolds her. The point is that she must identify her beloved, but not by touch, but by kiss. She stands, waits, sees nothing, the singular groom comes out and comes up and kisses her hand several times, but tries to do it in different ways. After this, the participant is asked to guess what kind of score her chosen one was.
This wedding competition is very interesting for the guests as they will have fun with any answer she gives.
Charity dances
They choose 2-3 couples who will have to prove themselves in dancing. For the competition, the presenter prepares songs and melodies in styles such as rock and roll, hopak, lezginka, pop, striptease, waltz, samba, and so on. Each of the couples in turn is invited to the dance floor. For each couple, you must also choose one person from the audience who will collect money from the guests in a hat. So, the host turns on the music, the couple dances, and one of the guests collects money, each couple must dance at least 3-5 excerpts from different genres. In the end, the couple who collects the most money wins. And the collected funds go to the budget of the newly-made family.
Creative competition – oil painting
We invite 3-5 guests who are ready to show their talent in art. They are provided with a sheet of paper and markers. Guests must draw pictures on the theme “Newlyweds and family.” Here guests can show all their imagination and give free rein to their ideas. The paintings are then put up for wedding auction one by one, with a minimum mandatory starting price. Bidding is underway and whose painting turns out to be more expensive receives a valuable prize from the young people.
Simple wedding competitions are distinguished by their originality, a large number of exciting games, lotteries, congratulations, and comic programs. Competitions are selected so that it is fun and interesting for everyone, without exception. It is important to know the audience enough by age and mentality to make the competitions acceptable and to know how not to make mistakes, because this is the main part of the celebration, which will be remembered by many.
There are certain rules when conducting fun and interesting wedding competitions:
- No one should be forced to participate in the competition in case the person is not in the mood or feels unwell.
- Entertainment should not diminish anyone's dignity.
- You should alternate active competitions with quiet ones, for example, after running around with balloons, you need to organize something poetic or song.
- All wedding competitions must necessarily involve contact between guests.
If these conditions are met, then any wedding, even the most budget-friendly and least crowded, will result in a grandiose celebration that will put everyone in a good mood.
The house where the newlyweds will live
The toastmaster declares that a house needs to be built. He has blanks, that is, a base, roof, doors, windows, pipe, and so on cut out of colored paper. To win one detail, guests must complete a certain task, for example, we dance the dance of little ducklings and get the base of the house, which we attach with a magnet to the easel. Next, we sing a funny song in chorus and get a roof, show a “star” figure (that is, all the guests should become in the shape of a star) and get a window, make a rainbow of guests (that is, the participants with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and violet color of clothing or its element) and we get doors. This way, guests will be able to build a new home for the newly-made family.
Competition - love kiss
Two men are invited to participate. After which the toastmaster asks all women to renew their lipstick. The essence of this event is to run around all the female guests in a certain amount of time and collect as many kisses as possible. The results of the competition are determined by counting kiss marks on the cheeks. The winner is the one with the most kisses.
Wedding competitions for an adult group can significantly bring guests at a wedding closer together, dissolving the embarrassment between them. Remember, the wedding event will attract a large number of people. In addition to the young people themselves and their friends, parents, older and older people will be present here. Therefore, it is better to remove intimate and vulgar competitions immediately, until the moment when young people are left to celebrate on their own.
Having selected original funny competitions, it is easy to hold a celebration without the participation of a toastmaster. If you don’t have enough time, you can invite an active friend or girlfriend to help with the props. Take as a basis ready-made scenarios that can enliven a modern wedding, and interpret them in the right way to make your holiday memorable for fun and creativity.
